United Arab Emirates
Leonardo’s technologies have been contributing to the security and defence of the United Arab Emirates for over fifty years and the Company continues to work – via its local branch in Abu Dhabi – with the UAE government, Armed Forces and partners. Leonardo collaborates with UAE in a wide range of areas from local and technological industrial partnerships to tailored high education courses, supporting the country’s vision and future challenging programmes.

The company’s goal is to further strengthen its strategic partnerships, which are already creating value through successful collaborations, and – building on its proven track record as a global provider in innovative technology – to increase the level of its cooperation with Emirati national companies.

Naval technologies

Since the mid-1970s, with the supply of OTO 76/62 naval guns, Leonardo has provided integrated naval systems for combat management, defence systems, naval radars, fire control systems, missile electronics and military radios for more than 40 ships in the UAE, including the Ghannatha, Falaj 2, and Baynunah, and Abu Dhabi-class corvettes. Today, the company is also contributing to the Falaj 3 programme.
Based on this track record, Leonardo signed an agreement with Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB) aimed at working together to the integration of the Combat System for nearly thirty ships of the UAE Navy. The company is also seeking to finalise a partnership with Emirati industry for the design and development of a national Combat Management System for new and legacy vessels.
